Microservices Were a Mistake for 90% of Teams Who Adopted Them
Microservices were a mistake. Not the concept itself, which has legitimate uses at genuine scale. The mistake was convincing an entire generation of developers that their CRUD app needed to be split into 47 independently deployable services communicating over a message bus designed by someone who watched one too many conference talks. I said what I said. Come at me. Netflix ruined everything This is Netflix’s fault. Not intentionally. They shared how they solved their genuinely massive scale problems, and the rest of the industry collectively lost its mind.
